Fungi - they are simple, fast-growing organisms without flowers, leaves or green colouring. They can be in a large form (for example: fly agaric or other stoadtools) with a fleshy stem supporting a broad rounded top or in a very small form, with a powderlike appearance (for example: yeasts, moulds or lichens). They are generally considered as a disease.
mycology - the study of Fungi
a mycorhiza - the partnership between the roots of a plant and a fungus
- They can't move independently
- They are saprophytic and heterothropic. Fungi secrete enzymes to break down the organisms, so they have to grow in their potential food
- Cell walls include chitin
- Fungi are made of fine threads-hyphae
- Mycelium is a collection of hyphae
- Fruiting bodies are also made of hyphae and produce spores
- During both sexual and asexual reproduction fungi produce very many tiny windblown spores
- Extremely resistant to unfavourable conditions
yeasts - unicellular, reproduce by budding
carry out fermentation: glucose -> CO2 + alcohol
moulds - responsible for destroying many products - used to produce cammembert and penicilin
mushrooms - raised commercially and as a delicacy
lichens - association between fungi and algae, can live on bare rocks or in poor soil. They are able to survive great extremes of heat, cold and dryness in all the region of the world.
